Chen Mo's eyes flickered upon hearing her words, roughly grasping her intent.

With a calm expression, he said, "So?"

Liao Ruyu circled around him, her beautiful eyes curiously examining Chen Mo.

"I've said so much, but in fact, I just want to tell you one thing."

"I have no ill intentions towards you, and even more, we have the chance to become friends. Do you understand?"

Chen Mo replied indifferently, "Then those who follow you are truly pitiable."

Liao Ruyu said nonchalantly, "Are you talking about Feng Tianyou? If that guy didn't have his Abilities, I would have gotten rid of him long ago."

"The reputation of Long Gang Group is almost ruined by him."

"But speaking of which, you really have some nerve."

"Chen Mo, do you have any idea that many from the Sixth Military District have already gone to Tianhai City to capture you and earn their merits?"

"At this juncture, you still dare to come to Huabei City alone."

"Should I say you're overly confident, or simply ignorant of the danger?"

Liao Ruyu said with a smile.

"However, you're lucky to have met me."

"Rest assured, I won't let the news of you being here leak out, but as a condition, you'll have to cooperate with Long Gang. How about it?"

Chen Mo's right fingertip twitched slightly.

In an instant.

A series of metal blades, condensed and extremely sharp, floated from all directions, aiming at her.

"With just a thought, you could quickly become a porcupine," Chen Mo said.

Seeing this, Liao Ruyu was slightly startled.

This guy is indeed the one the military district is looking for!

Such powerful Abilities!

However, she didn't show it.

Instead, she arched her eyebrows, crossed her arms under her chest, and said calmly, "Chen Mo, twenty-one years old, from the Fuyang Orphanage, used to work at Jiajia Supermarket."

"Abilities, able to control metal beads and influence bullets, preliminarily judged to be able to control metal."

"Am I right?" Liao Ruyu said composedly.

Honestly, although she appeared calm on the surface.

Her heart was still pounding uncontrollably.

After all, she was a second-order Abilities user.

When Chen Mo used his Abilities just now, she didn't even have time to react!

This meant that the other party was at least a second-order Abilities user like herself, or even stronger!

"If you kill me now, then you'll be completely unaware of the news about the Huabei City military district."

Liao Ruyu revealed her value.

"We at Long Gang Group don't want to become the military's lapdog."

"At least with me here, I can ensure that you won't be discovered by the military in Huabei City."

"Same offer, cooperation, what do you say?"

Chen Mo stared at her beautiful and delicate face for a long time.

Suddenly,

The blades in front of him instantly turned into a pool of liquid.

And returned to the Ghost Knife.

Chen Mo nodded slightly and said, "Tell me, what kind of cooperation?"

Right now, not only did he need to find Yu Er.

He also had to be constantly wary of the military making a move against him.

If his actions in Huabei City were exposed, he would be severely restricted.

Chen Mo did not wish to confront an entire military district before his mastery of Abilities reached the fourth order.

Liao Ruyu's face lit up with joy.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at Chen Mo and immediately said, "I want you to join Long Gang Group and become one of my people, how about that?"

Chen Mo laughed, his tone playful, "Is that what you call cooperation?"

"Becoming your person, like that previous Abilities user?"

"I'm not interested."

Upon hearing this, Liao Ruyu's delicate face turned red.

She said earnestly, "Your strength is not something that Feng Tianyou can compare to."

"If you join Long Gang Group, then from now on, you'll be one of us."

Chen Mo: "Make another offer."

Liao Ruyu sighed in disappointment but didn't mind too much and said, "It's fine if you're unwilling. Since it's cooperation, sincerity is necessary."

"Within the sphere of influence of Long Gang, I can ensure that no one named 'Chen Mo' appears."

"Honestly, having offended the military, I'm actually quite willing to make friends with you."

Liao Ruyu threw a flirtatious glance and continued with a light laugh, "I want you to help Long Gang Group deal with a mutated heresy."

"With your strength, it should be a piece of cake."

Chen Mo said without hesitation, "Okay."

Liao Ruyu clapped her hands in admiration, "Straightforward."

"And you?"

"What do you need us to do?"

Chen Mo: "Information about the military district, and use your power to help me find someone."

"Find someone?" Liao Ruyu frowned.

This request wasn't rare, whether in the military district or Long Gang Group.Almost everyone wanted to find their friends and family and bring them back to a safe place.

"Now, with information being so scarce, if you can confirm that your friend is indeed in Huabei City, you might as well give it a try."

Liao Ruyu didn't fully commit but said,

"Our Long Gang Group can only do our best."

"Things aren't like before. Not to mention whether the person you're looking for is still alive, finding someone in a city as big as Huabei is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"I think you should understand this is not an easy task."

Chen Mo nodded.

"I know."

Liao Ruyu: "What's the name?"

Chen Mo: "Tang Xuanyu."

"A woman?" Liao Ruyu was taken aback.

Her face showed sudden realization.

She was full of curiosity.

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

"An old flame?"

She was obviously very interested in this woman named Tang Xuanyu.

Chen Mo glanced at her and said nothing.

Liao Ruyu: "Do you know where she might be? A student, or?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

The first time he met Yu Er was several years after the apocalypse had begun.

He only knew that Yu Er was in Huabei City.

As for what Yu Er did before the apocalypse, she rarely mentioned it.

"She might still be a student," said Chen Mo.

Liao Ruyu furrowed her brows, feeling a bit puzzled.

"What do you mean 'might'?"

Chen Mo honestly replied, "I'm not sure."

Liao Ruyu sighed, "I understand. I'll do my best to help you with this."

"I'll also ask around in the military district to see if anyone knows anything about her. As for whether we can find her or not, we'll have to leave that up to fate."

Chen Mo's gaze flickered as he looked down.

"Mhm."

Instead of searching aimlessly like a headless fly,

It would be better to leverage the power of this local snakehead in Huabei City.

Liao Ruyu pondered for a moment and said,

"Given the sensitivity of your identity, it's unlikely you'll be able to enter Huabei City directly through the highway entrance."

"The military doesn't trust us, and at the entrance, it's not just our people there."

"Chen Mo, later you'll blend into our team and come back to Huabei City with us."

"As for that pet of yours…"
